A man like Shaun Ryder needs no introduction... for the hard man of drugs and rock 'n' roll has a reputation that deeply precedes him. But these days he has mellowed somewhat and is more 'compos mentis' he claims.

There's few British rock bands who can boast highly successful tours with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, or having a string of hit singles, including greats like Better Days and a cover of Cameo's Word Up. But GUN are one of them.
